Pit Bull Terrier and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Sacramento, California

Mr. Carmel Apple Pop
Don’t let his big boy looks fool you Mr. Caramel Apple Pop is a gentle, easygoing sweetheart. He’s a breeze to leash up and walks at a relaxed, mellow pace, preferring a leisurely stroll where he can take in all the sights and smells. He handled his business right away once outside (gold star for potty manners!).

You’ll be greeted with plenty of tail wags he’s a happy boy through and through.

He enjoys a little playtime, he’ll chase a ball and even take a quick dip in the pool, but overall, he’s more of a laid-back, chill companion than a high-energy guy. He may get a little excited and think about jumping up, but he’s slow about it and responds well to gentle correction, easy to read and even easier to redirect.

If you’re looking for a calm, sweet pup who’s happy to cruise through life by your side (and wag his tail the whole time), Mr. Carmel Apple Pop might just be your perfect match.

Carmel has participated in shelter playgroups and may enjoy a compatible canine friend in his new home. He's also sharing his shelter suite with a friend he came to the shelter with. Looking for a buddy for your dog? Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we're a match! Check out his playgroup video here:

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
